Hi!
Sorry for the missing specs, here they are:
> version
_
platform i386-pc-mingw32
arch i386
os mingw32
system i386, mingw32
status
major 2
minor 12.1
year 2010
month 12
day 16
svn rev 53855
language R
version.string R version 2.12.1 (2010-12-16)
OS: Windows 7 (English version, 32 bit)
Note that \U0171 != ?. See
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/171/index.htm
Anyway, I have no problem with ű (~u") and other special Hungarian
characters in my R-Gui. It is correctly displayed in the console, in
plots, etc. The problem is with the pdf conversion.
The same holds for my Ubuntu Hardy Heron system*, with exactly the same
error messages as reported in an earlier thread
http://www.mail-archive.com/r-help at r-project.org/msg89792.html
As far as I know, Hershey fonts do not contain \U0171.
Regards,
Denes
